Khatman Posted October 3, 2005 Hi guys, I finally got around to ordering the green and narrow leaf strains of Khat from Shaman Australis, which i have been meaning to do for several months. Unfortunatley there don't appear to be any available. Can any one help me out with seed/cuttings? All I can offer in exchange is money. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Torsten Posted October 3, 2005 Have a look in the shop now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Khatman Posted October 3, 2005 You legend, cheers mate! I want the narrow leaf variant because of the reportedly superior taste and higher content of cathinone. However is it worth getting the green and white strains as well? What are their merits? it would be interesting to see how they grow here. I have received Khat cuttings from the Fruit Spirit Botanic Garden as bare rooted cuttings wrapped in plastic bags and mailed in a cardboard box. They survived and I had no trouble with quarantine. I am obviously still concerned about your plants getting here. How will you send them? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Torsten Posted October 3, 2005 we send plants all over Oz every week. How healthy the arrive depends on your choice of shipping modes. If your state has any restrictions then these are your risk and your problem - we don't want to know about them ;) The narrow leaf is quote different to the others, but if you want variety in taste AND effect then you'll just have to get all of them :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
smogs Posted October 4, 2005 i have 3 of these and they are great... going ape shit in the hot weather and i actually really like the taste... chew for the flavour which makes a nice change from most other ethnos (need a sick smiley) they look great too Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Happy Cadaver Posted October 5, 2005 if you're in sydney, Rimbaud (guruna.com) sells them at the marrickville markets on sunday. Planthelper was big on them a while ago too.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
occidentalis Posted October 5, 2005 Khatman, the perth seedring has some seeds of the narrow leaf strain 4. pm me for more details. On the note of quarantine, I don't know anyone in WA who has had anything from SAB confiscated. I've ordered from them and some other eastern states vendors and had no problems.

Cheers... :D The only difference between QLD and NSW is that NSW has stricter drug laws. Hence, I can't think of anyting that is legal in NSW and illegal in Qld, while there are a few the other way.

C12H16N2 Posted October 6, 2005 Ok, thanks for the info Torsten... :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
smogs Posted October 7, 2005 the reason why WA is different is because it has pretty strict import laws due to its fragile ecosystem thingy dealy when it comes to plants etc there has to b no dirt on roots and alot of plants arnt alowed in at all etd Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
